Chapter 3 Configuring the Telephony Settings on the VG248
Explanation
You have used this phone and registered this port in
Cisco CallManager.
You have either manually disabled the specific port
using the Telephony > Port specific parameters
menu, or no one has attempted to use a phone
connected to this port.
This is the default setting.
After someone attempts to use a phone connected to
this port, the port enable status will change to enabled.
You have manually enabled the specific port using the
Telephony > Port specific parameters menu. By
doing this, you are overriding the manual setting on the
port enable policy.
When the VG248 starts up, the port will attempt to
register with Cisco CallManager.
The port cannot be enabled by picking up the phone.
To use the phone, you must manually change the port
from disabled to enabled using the Telephony > Port
specific parameters menu.
